We did not have a white Christmas or the beginning of the new year but we did have a blessed Christmas season with all of the graces given to us. We also had wonderful start of the new year with the visit of Cardinal Schonborn and I am a witness that he is one of the kindest men I know and it was such a grace for me to meet him. With all of this said, I must conclude that the year begun with allot of gifts of God and Our Lady. I woke up this morning, stepped outside and the whole village was covered with the white veil, although it gives headache's to the drivers it is mere a sign that the year is meant to be different, especially knowing that we don't get much of snow ever and when we do it is gone within hours.
